In order to invade the planet Eternia, Hordak sends Hord Flyers carrying Hord Tanks and bots.
The Flyers deliver bots and Tanks, and pick up bubbled captives, the bots detect magic users.
The prisoners are taken to Hord Prime and Hordak drains them of magic, with complicated machines that in turn increase his life.

As I see it... dragons live on the dark side of Eternia, given the planet has a 90deg pole-to-equa-peak rotation to its sun, giving it a bright side and a dark side, and a bowling-ball-like spin in orbit.
..simply having dragons live there does not make it 'dark' enough for me.

Also I see dragons having a belly full of gas, for lift as they fly.
So the dragons sleep in cavernous holes in the ground, so as not to float away as they snooze.
..and they don't like being woken up.
(the dream of dragons is far better than real life)

I think it's important for a chap to hold fast to his dreams - and at the same time to be realistic about setting too much store by the very highest of ambitions. Not all dreams come true - but some actually do!

I confess that I know little about film direction; from recent cinema trends it appears that the level of talent varies vastly; some are brilliant - and others just as clearly wholly incompetent. But, as I say, I'm hardly fitted to know what makes a director; you see, I'm a writer!

The biggest problem with holywood, is that it is a mirror of the rest of the world.

Qualitatively, a lot of things on our planet need fixing.

Good classic directors are disappearing in Hollywood, just as fast as pollinating honey-bees.
..(which will lead to gross losses in fruits & veggies & nuts & flowers)

The billion-dollar profitability of Hollywood is as politically unstable as any other human structure and as shifting and shaky as the planets whole bio-sphere ...yada, yada, end of the world, yada, yada..

The King and Queen, (best played by Schwarzenegger), rule over Eternia.
...

Now that is to say the bright-lands of the planet Eternia, as its one side faces the eternian sun.
The government of Eternia is 'ideal-ic', not fascist or empirical, but based on regional council.
The land regions are so well organized over time that there is built and run a city of Eternia.

...

I for one would love to see an earth system like that.
(but unlikely even in a thousand years)

Although I'm sure there are other less significant buildings within the circular outer wall, 4 stand out.
The palace of the royal family.
The laboratory of the Man-At-Arms.
The BrightMoon school of Magic.
The privileged school of higher-learning.

So I did Teela, I put it off a while because it means I should also make Bow.

Teela is a character I struggle to understand, because as I see her she likes Adam and He-Man, and I think the two are very different, so as a story goes one might think she is only interested in Adam as a friend(making him want to be more of a man, along with his interest in making his father proud, and turning to GreySkull for help)

The ecco-system on Eternia is delicate and intricate.
Based on Flutterina and BuzzOff, the tiniest creature people are just as important as the largest.
Rock-Flowers are unique to Eternia, growing out of the rock instead of soil these flowers are likely the source of all natural blood magic, but through the syrup of the bee-girls and through all the animals and beasts that eat from the food chain over time.

The Adam transformation is very simple and familiar in my work.
He goes to Duncan for advise, to impress his father and deal with a certain local area problem by the name of Skeletor, who's alliances with the beastmen and snakemen is causing a minor threat to the Eternian kingdom, although King Randor disagrees that there is any unusual threat.
Duncan suggests Adam see the Sorceress at GreySkull, as Adam has never been there before, and the birdlady keeper at the secret castle tells Adam of crafted magic crystal rock, of which has been made a sword, that can make you more of your natural strength, (a man if you are a boy, a bird if you are a birdlady), and he snatches up the chance to be he who is man and by giving his blood to the rock, he grows into He-Man.

..
Adora's transformation is however different, unfamiliar to those who go by filmation/comics.
Hopefully sensible though.

..so I did not totally, initially, artistically, or fundamentally mix Sailor Moon with Princess of Power,, but there are some similarities to be seen.

In my work, Adora is born with natural blood magic, which is a lawful registry on Eternia, and requires your child go to magic school to learn how to control or not use your magic.
Adora feels exempt from this by royal privilege although she is only a princess by birth and in a masculine order she will never be 'a king'. She is however invited to council meetings and learns that Skeletor is misusing magic and is also being left alone so as not to upset the regional balance of peace as it is. So she goes to Skeletor and he teaches her that sea/moon pearls act as a sponge to the magic in the stars and planetoids, and it can increase her natural magic.
She-Ra in spite of her brother, says 'I AM THE POWER', and sets out to prove her right to rule as Queen.

In my storyboards, the Pigmen are very significant to the brightlands of Eternia, although they are often unnoticed for their work, (like me). The castle GraySkull was built by them long ago and left in the hands of the birdmen to disperse the magic rock dug from the abyssal mine surrounding the castle. In my first movie the Pigmen will become offensively/defensive of the castle when its magic is freely/simply given to the son of Randor.
In this image I made a pigman soldier with a gas-gun, although it is illegal to make fatal weapons like this on Eternia.
Their leader is King Chomp, who in my first movie tries to take control of GraySkull and burn an allotments contract in the presence of King Randor, the high and privileged king.

Most of the time Eternia remains in a balance of peace, but that peace is easily disturbed.
..much like disturbing dragons from their sleep.
